Best…Food…Ever…

Better than my wife’s, better than my Grandmother’s, better than your’s…Sorry, but it may be true.
Introduced to it by my Edward Jones Advisor located just down the street, we on average, have not missed a weekly visit since we tried it more than 5 years ago.
Can’t say enough about this place. If it’s not your thing, I apologize, but more than likely you’ll agree with me, even if it’s not on par with my enthusiasm.
His breakfast specials are to die for at times; many of my favorites include his lemon icing or his many stir fry themed meals. When the special isn’t to your liking, my go to is the infamous and ultimate meal, the Jessica’s Bowl! Cinnamon Rolls, Breakfast Sandwiches, Omelets and Skillets, Pancakes, French Toast, Breakfast Plates, and Biscuits and Gravy! Everyone talks about the Biscuits and Gravy. That’s what my Financial Advisor first told us about. He’s gives great counsel in other areas too. Now I’m known to not be a fan of breakfast at restaurants, (you’ll never hear me comment on how badly I want some McDonald’s breakfast, or even most local diners) especially biscuits and gravy, as it’s never as good as homemade…but let me tell you that this is basically homemade, just not at your home.
Lunch should be experienced as well. I’m a burger man, and he has some great ones. Buffalo burger specials, chili burger specials, burgers w/ apples (custom/special), or just his traditional homemade, you can’t go wrong. Also need to try chicken noodles, buffalo mac and cheese special, and any of the several sandwiches.
I’ll cut this short since I can’t list it all here. Awesome people, local small diner feel, and prices that are from better days long past.
Something my wife was told once that makes sense, “Find the place that the older retiree generations seem to regularly occupy, as that means it’s good food and reasonably priced”.
Just try it once, most likely I’ll eventually see you there. Enjoy!

UPDATE: The cookies are great too! We love going here regularly for breakfast. You won’t regret the French toast! We always have great service here and great food. The staff are super accommodating on every trip we’ve made and we come here weekly; sometimes more than once in a week. We wish they had more space but we understand the building has its limits. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

We always sit at the counter and Joe is very nice and polite. When we were in there on Nov. 2, 2024 there were a group of guys with a young boy who is allergic to potatoes and he wanted sausage and eggs with toast, so Joe was letting the cook know and the cook rudely said everything is cooked on the same grill including the pans. I would suggest getting different pans for people who have allergies. Other then that everything is always so good. Again Joe is very nice.

This place had excellent food and service. The bread is homemade and really good. We will be back!

Since moving back into town, we have had Don and Nancy’s multiple times for breakfast. We usually do take out and it is always done quickly and still hot by the time it gets home.

We also love the donuts 🍩!! Very fresh each time. But remember only available on Sunday.

The best breakfast by far is found at Don & Nancy’s. If you haven’t tried it yet, try their Brisket skillet. So yummy!

Amazing food! Can't go wrong with any of their french toast specials! Service is great, atmosphere is relaxed. We enjoy coming here every weekend. The heavenly french toast is listed below. It's so good! My favorite item!
